Chanel "new' 4 Les Ombres have officially launched worldwide and have made a big splash in the beauty world.  I bought my first two palettes in Tisse Rivoli and Tisse Camelia (Review HERE ) and have been having fun playing around with them and incorporating them with my other staple eye makeup.  On my recent trip to Japan, the whole collection of palettes were released (slightly ahead of the US) and I decided to take the
